The ball rifles past the wall and the despairing dive of Allan McGregor and smashes into the top corner of the net. It's a fabulous free-kick and Arsenal are back in the game. Half-time score: Arsenal 1-2 Hull City

Arsenal are piling on the pressure in the second half and eventually it tells as Laurent Koscielny equalises in the 72nd minute. Bacary Sagna wins a header from a corner and the ball ricochets off Olivier Giroud to Koscielny, who's standing three yards out. He swivels and shoots into the net before being clobbered by the keeper

With eleven minutes to go Kieren Gibbs has a cast iron chance to put Arsenal in the lead when the ball falls to him seven yards out. However he loses his head and blasts the ball over the ball. Cue collective heads in hands
